Like Life, Architecture is All About the Details

Imposing and imaginative, there's still a touch of whimsy to this log home's grand entryway. On a different scale, this could be the entry to a hobbit home. On the human scale, there's a sense of solidity, of being firmly planted in the ground. Support beams appear to be living trees still growing from the ground. Slate steps give a sense of motion – like a stream emanating from within.

A balcony for all seasons, this outdoor space is protected from the rains by a dramatic overhang. Lined with teak strips, there is a visual warmth to this practical detail. Yet there is a sense of elegance too, a sense of lightness in the delicate, angular shaping of the roof itself and the metal supports extending from the matched columns. Narrow door panels add a further layer of visual texture.
